‘Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”’
I Kings 3:9
I’m learning.
And.
God.
Has been.
Faithful.
In.
Teaching me.
How to.
Discern.
Between.
Good.
And.
Evil.
The words.
Above.
Are.
The words.
Of.
Solomon.
King David’s.
Son.
Who.
Took over.
As.
King.
Of.
Israel.
After.
David.
Passed away.
‘Then Solomon sat on the throne of his father David; and his kingdom was firmly established.’
I Kings 2:12
God.
Appeared.
To.
Solomon.
In.
A dream.
And.
The words.
Above.
Is.
What.
He asked.
For.
‘At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?”’
I Kings 3:5
Look.
What.
Solomon.
Asked.
For.
Was.
Wise.
On.
His behalf.
And.
It.
Pleased.
God.
‘The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days. ‘
I Kings 3:10-13
I’ve learned.
Through.
Trial.
And.
Error.
But.
You don’t.
Have to.
About.
Three years.
Ago.
I prayed.
And.
Asked.
The Lord.
For.
Discernment.
Because.
My pastor.
At.
The time.
Informed.
Me.
That.
I needed.
Growth.
In.
That area.
So.
If you.
Need.
Help.
In.
That area.
Like.
I did.
I pray.
That you.
Ask.
The Lord.
For.
The same.
Thing.
Because.
If you.
Lack.
Discernment.
In.
The days.
We.
Live in.
It could.
Cost you.
Your life!
Ultimately.
God’s mercy.
Spared mines!
I love you!
And.
I pray your day is blessed!
In Jesus name, Amen!
